I am trying to enable Performance Counters so I can watch the buffer size of
various blocks in a C++ GNU Radio program. Is there anyway to check/verify
whether Performance Counters were enabled during compile time? Is it still the
case that they are off for apt-get packages for Ubuntu?
I have built a compiled from source GNU Radio Docker container. It is the
current Main branch on Ubuntu 22.04. Thrift is installed and being found by
cmake. I added '-DENABLE_PERFORMANCE_COUNTERS=True' to the Cmake call and
turned everything on in the gnuradio-runtime.conf file. I also hard coded the
thrift port to 9090 and port mapped out of the container. When I run
gr-ctrlport-monitor I am able to info coming from the program running inside
the container, like the edges. However, when I run gr-perf-monitorx I get the
following:
ControlPort failed to connect. Check the config of your endpoint.
[ControlPort] on = True
[ControlPort] edges_list = True
[PerfCounters] on = True
[PerfCounters] export = True
Are there some additional steps I need to take to enable Performance Counters?
During compilation, I noticed this message, but I think it is in reference to
the clock:
#8 5.302 -- Performing Test HAVE_MACH_ABSOLUTE_TIME
#8 5.337 -- Performing Test HAVE_MACH_ABSOLUTE_TIME - Failed
#8 5.337 -- Performing Test HAVE_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER
#8 5.373 -- Performing Test HAVE_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_COUNTER - Failed
#8 5.374 -- High resolution timing supported through clock_gettime.
